Dear Prayer Angels,

Updated 6/17/08
Received email from Edith:
I am doing pretty good. I still have to go and have chemo treatments every three weeks. But the tumor on my neck is shrinking so that is a good sign. The doctor says I am doing better than he thought I would.

Dear Sweet Jesus please continue to touch Edith with Your healing. Give her strength and comfort during the treatments. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

(Something happened to all the prayers that were posted for Edith, so I am posting the current information starting in March 2008. She has been having treatments and tests since April 2007.)

Please say an extra pray for Edith, who is still battling cancer.

This is the latest information that I received from her.

I had a Pet Scan done last week and I wanted to wait to see what the results were before I answered you. The news was not good. But keeping my chin up and praying that the outcome will be ok. The stuff in my chest is under control but the neck has flared up again. So I have to go back and have another round of Chemo not sure what it is going to be. I won't know till Thursday when the doctor get back with me. He is doing some research right now and he said to give him 48 hours. So I should know something by Thursday. I may have to go to MD Anderson in Houston not sure as of yet. Otherwise I am feeling ok just a little worried but we just have to keep praying that everything will be ok.

Take care
Love Edie

Prayer To St Peregrine

Glorious wonder-worker, St. Peregrine, you answered the divine call with a ready spirit, and forsook all the comforts of a life of ease and all the empty honors of the world to dedicate yourself to God in the Order of His holy Mother.

You labored manfully for the salvation of souls. In union with Jesus crucified, you endured painful sufferings with such patience as to deserve to be healed miraculously of an incurable cancer in your leg by a touch of His divine hand.

Obtain for me the grace to answer every call of God and to fulfill His will in all the events of life. Enkindle in my heart a consuming zeal for the salvation of all men.

Deliver me from the infirmities that afflict my body (especially throat area).

Obtain for me also a perfect resignation to the sufferings it may please God to send me, so that, imitating our crucified Savior and His sorrowful Mother, I may merit eternal glory in heaven.

St. Peregrine, pray for me and for all who invoke your aid.

St. Peregrine is the Patron saint for individuals, family members and care-givers whose lives have been touched by cancer and other serious illnesses to come to pray for healing, to come in thanksgiving for a petition answered or to come in remembrance of a loved one who has died from cancer.

***************************************************
Saint Blaise, pray for us that we may not suffer from illnesses of the throat and pray that all who are suffering be healed by God's love. Amen

Thank you for the prayers.
I am hanging in there. I am still going every 3 weeks for Chemo and taking these strong pills two weeks on and one week off of them. My oncologist is sending me to a ENT specialist for he is looking at surgery if the chemo does not help. So he is looking at all of the aspects that he can as he does not want to go to surgery but if he has to he will. Otherwise I feel pretty good. Working every day except for this week I am off for vacation. Tuesday I have to go to the ENT and have a CT scan done and see what the ENT has to say.
Take care
Edie
